Kayla Itsines week 2 review

Ok so I am going to have to be honest with you, i'm really struggling with the BBG. I am struggling to fit in the demanding circuits into my workout routine. I already do personal training, pilates, running, spin, and netball so there is not much time to fit all of the circuits into my routine! 
As mentioned in a previous post, I started week 2 again last week and I still didn't get around to do it!! I've decided to just use the circuits whenever I feel like completing one and will just pick and choose which weeks workout I will complete!
I feel like Kayla's BBG is purely for people who are struggling with a particular exercise routine and need more workout structure in their life. So if that sounds like you, I would definitely recommend it. If you are like me and already have a structure regarding your weekly workouts, it might be a waste of money for you. I think i just chose the wrong time in my life to give this program a proper go.
I love the circuits that Kayla has put together and they are perfect for all levels of fitness, because trust me I was puffing and sweating. 
Anyway, on to week 2 of the BBG. Week 2 (also used for week 4), is similar to week 1 just a few new exercises. I loved loved the incorporation of skipping! I love including skipping in my workouts, because as mentioned in a previous post, it is just so good for your fitness! So that definitely put a smile on my face when I saw that. Some of the new exercises I wasn't quite sure how to do so a video from Kayla explaining them would have been great, but there wasn't so I just had to you tube them and see an explanation! My favourite workout of the week was definitely Arms & Abs. I love working my abs and I don't know why! There is also a compulsory full body workout this week which was really well balanced and I could feel it all over the next day! 
This week I am going to try my hardest to stick to Kayla's workout guidelines including her three circuits with cardio in between. Will let you know how it goes next week :)
